Answer:
prohibits the introduction of invasive species
controls the kind of waste and pollutants allowed
assesses human influence on the environment
designates protected zones on the continent
Explanation:
These four key terms are some of what the Madrid Protocol includes.
Prohibiting the introduction of invasive species keeps the ecosystem from being dominated and/or destroyed by a single species that the ecosystem is not built to handle.
Controlling the kind of waste and pollutants allowed on the continent ensures that the environment remains stable without the influence of outside chemicals, such as oil or carbon emissions that could harm the ecosystems.
Assessing human influence on the environment keeps track who does what and how they do it, essentially preventing extreme human action from being taken so as to preserve Antarctica's natural order.
Designating protected zones on the continent that can only be accessed with special permits ensures that only people who require access for research or whatnot, or more simply, qualified personnel, are able to enter these zones, so as to keep contact down to a minimum and further preserve Antarctica's natural environment.
Answer:
The day/night temperature difference is much larger on land than the ocean because (c) the ocean has a larger heat capacity.
Explanation:
The ocean has a remarkable capacity to store heat. This is why its temperature is more stable than on land. Solar energy is gradually absorbed through the surface to the depth and that energy is moved around with their currents.
Ocean water can store huge amounts of solar energy, that is, from heat, which is released progressively. This property is what makes the ocean the great climate regulator and, therefore, two extreme types of climate can be recognized: the maritime and the continental.
The surface of the continents does not store large amounts of heat, and therefore, its thermal reserve is very scarce, so that the soil heats up very quickly during the day, but at night it cools in the same way. The heat has no time to penetrate the earth.

Answer:
Option A. is correct
Explanation:
Given:
A sediment core is removed from the floor of an inland sea. The sea has been in existence, off and on, throughout the entire time that terrestrial life has existed. Researchers wish to locate and study the terrestrial organisms fossilized in this core. The core is illustrated as a vertical column, with the top of the column representing the most recent strata and the bottom representing the time when the land was first colonized by life.
Solution:
A sediment core refers to a mud collected by the scientists from the bottom of lakes to interpret past ecosystems.
To assign absolute dates to fossils in this sediment core, it would be most helpful if volcanic ash layers were regularly interspersed between the sedimentary strata.
